ALIEN_80 | Tip for Anderlecht - Villareal | 09.03.2023
Tip: Win for Villareal Result: DrawThe current form of both teams is not particularly good. The success over Ludogorets is the only one for Anderlecht in the last five official matches, as the team lost 0:1 at Gent at the weekend. Until recently, Villarreal was on a streak of four straight losses in La Liga, but luckily that streak was broken with two straight wins over Getafe and Almeria. With them, the team managed to return to the Top 6.
With the likes of Vertonghen and Slimani, the hosts have experience in their ranks, but I don't think it will be enough to get them going in this round of the competition. The "Yellow Submarine" is the big favorite in the clash and may take the lead even before the second leg. However, Anderlecht have shown they can create good scoring chances and Villarreal are definitely not at their best, with good defensive performances in 2023 almost lacking with just two clean sheets.
